A man is expected to appear in court in Tongatapu today over the death of his twin son in a road accident.
Local news media report that seven-year-old Alifeleti Peneti Jnr Vailea died after falling from a moving vehicle on 2 October.
Alifeleti was sitting at the back of the vehicle with his twin brother when the incident occurred.
